I am in love with this bike and strongly considering the move over the winter. Does anyone on this board have one or has ridden one. If so I would like your unbiased opinion on this bike. How does it ride (Power, Responsiveness, Handling, Sound, Feel, everything). I am going to unload the Gixxer 750 via trade if its good enough or through private party sales. I will surely miss the 6 pack holder though.

I haven't heard one complaint, other than the looks. The looks have grown on me and I really dig it.

I've liked the look from the get go. I feel the currently styled bikes are getting out-dated.

As far as the machine goes, its a honda. rarely will you ever hear anything bad about a honda. The few people that i've talked to that own them are no talent hacks, so i really cant tell you anything about how they ride excpet they're "rallly fast" and "super tight" and i've heard some of them do "a hundred easily".

the only guy i know who has one has ZERO strip in all street riding and apparently had to grind down the peg feelers. :eek:

i rode with a guy at the gap and they were at a good pace at it seemed to love it

over the past couple of riding seasons I have gotten too comfortable on my little 750 and it now bores me and feels extremely underpowered. I need something new with a ton more sack and the new Fireblade is ranked as the best liter bike to get with its 600 like handling and its power. I am amped and I am going to go poke around and see what kind of deals i can get.

I really like this bike, it's light, it's powerful, it looks like a motogp bike in full race plastics, what's not to love.

devils advicate: the retarded down syndrome front end

you'll come around just like everybody else is. thats my fav part about the bike.

i like it, i was just playing advocate
